I love the detail on the Krenim Annorax Science Dreadnought. I am a bit surprised there was not more to the interior of the ship. Perhaps down the road there will be an option for an expanded interior or it will be incorporated. I feel like a lot of time went into the ship creation and to have left out the innards it feels incomplete. Overall , I love the ship and everything that comes with it. I'm happy to have one.

This is not a shocker at all - just like any other decent ship in the game... I may be new to STO but I have played games similar to this for years... Free to play, PAY to win.. At least in a massive way.
But I live Star Trek and have since I was little... Take the good with the bad.
Picard and his gang of misfits (Commander Quagmire, his sometime-girlfriend Counselor State-the-Obvious, Pinocchio aspiring to be a real boy, a blind helmsman, and Microbrain, not to mention Doctor I'm-here-as-a-thinly-veiled-love-interest-for-the-captain-and-otherwise-have-no-real-purpose and her son Annoying Boy Geekwiz)
Am I the only one who doesn't see what the big fuss is all about?
I mean, yeah, nice stats and all, but it's nothing game-changingly incredible and certainly not worth the money that some will spend to obtain it.
Only T6 Science ship available to Romulan and Klingon players and its a lower than lockbox chance promo....
Lock boxes are 1/250 to win the ship, these promo packs are 1/100.
Better odds, not worse odds.
Considering ages ago they normalised the odds on the JHAS to bring it UP to lockbox odds and not the normal promo odds it had been, thats simply not the case.
Bad luck for me as usual, spend 20€, bought 20 boxes and get nothing that worth the investment even from the doff pack.
Even if it's temptating to spend more as this vessel is what i wished for my science Ferasan, spending 20€ again for 10 boxes which will gave me nothing worth my money is not something i taste.
I can't afford to spend too much, so i'll abandon the idea to obtain the Annorax. It's raging in a way to see that so many people will have the Annorax and not me.
Even if everything has a price, the one of Cryptic is just too high for me.
players should NOT be able to use this ship. it should have been a one off mission only appearance...and then destroyed, like in year of hell. whats next, a player usable Borg cube ?!? an Iconian dreadnought??? The magic f'ing schoolbus? ugh. rant over.
They're bound to you? So you can't buy them on exchange? Thats what I was told, Why is that!?
They're not bound to the user, and while they could be sold on the Exchange, their current value is above the 500Mil EC Exchange limit. You'll have to go to a Trade channel to purchase one of these, though they might fall below 500Mil before the event ends, and therefore would be listed there.
Typical the Krenim ships are the only set of lockbox ships i have no interest in as i dont run sci. Ill keep the money until something i want comes along though.
Gambling is gambling. Once i won two Narcines, one after the other. Other times i have opened 200 lockboxes and won no ship. If you don't gamble, then don't. But you can't complain, because people do win the ships. As proven by the annoying yellow writing that pops up peridocially.
Its not like its the first time they have done this, or even the 3rd or 4th. We all know what game we have bought into here, so lets not pretend its unjust.
" Experience is a hard mistress, she gives the tests first, and the lessons after... "
They adjusted the drop rate on the Year of Hell lockbox and the test results posted on the forum indicate it's now 1/200. Old ones are 1/250 but they said they would consider changing them based on how well received the new one is.

No more making huge loot off buying boxes and selling them later.
Wait so if I purchase a promotional pack during the event and put it on the exchange the day after it will no longer be a promotion pack?

Great. My neices and nephew used to watch that show, and now the theme song is playing in my head.
In regards to the Krenim tech and the like, can we have the ability to reconfigure the older Chroniton Dual Beam Bank to an antichroniton tetryon based weapon? It would also be interesting to have a 12 piece set (pretty sure it's 12 pieces) that makes use out of all the temporal ship parts with one powerful ability at the top. My idea would be for something akin to the system used in the special Lifetime Subscriber ships, being able to switch from offense to defense/regen. Either that or a super ship buster that only works on boss ships and deals massive damage, like 15% of their health.

If they did there wouldnt be the complaints we are making as we would have the same cost to chance ratio.

Link a limited time ship to a doff pack, then slap that pack with a 20% discount 1-2 days after the promo starts.
*clicks tongue*
That was a dirty move.

Yet it works everytime. Scramble Fighters went from 200,000,000 EC to like 23,000,000 EC, and with this promo I suspect it will drop further.
The packs were on sale since the promo started, there was just no news article about it.
Never mind, then
I only checked the zen price after I saw the blog.

I bought more than 50 packs, and I didn't get the ship. You would have been really lucky to get the Annorax Timeship after just buying two of them.
